in the day, the plant will give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, but at night they take in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide :)

When do plants respire?

Plants respire all the time, but it can be seen better at night. This is because photosynthesis has the opposite chemical formula, and since there is light, more oxygen returned out, then carbon dioxide is taken in.


What would happen to us if there were no plants on earth?

Plants are the only life forms on Earth which are capable of producing fixed carbon and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight via the process of photosynthesis. Without plants herbivores would die, without herbivores carnivores and omnivores would die.If there were no plants on earth we would all be dead because plants give oxygen. There would also be no life.


Which kingdom provides most of the earth's oxygen?

i do not know if you mean a specie or place. but i do know that plants provides the earth with oxygen. if you are looking for a place, then look at a place with the most plants. if you are looking for a specie, plants, provide the earth withoxygen (plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen)


How much time would it for earth to run out of oxygen with no plants and trees?

Well, In answer to your question plants under go photosynthesis which is the chemical conversion of light and nutrients into food glucose. In photosynthesis plants take in CO2 through their stomata or pores in the underside of their leaves and combine it with water and light to produce glucose, a sugar that is used for food. This is the basic reaction below. Plants do not require oxygen to grow in fact they produce it so, in answer to your question a plant without Oxygen will do fine provided it has access to light, water and a few other essential nutrients.


What gas is released into the atmosphere by plants?

Oxygen. Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and prepare food with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll. Carbon Dioxide is vital ingredient in the process of photosynthesis. Plants do not require Oxygen and so liberate Oxygen to the atmosphere which is used by other organisms for respiration.

What do plants take in and give out all the time?

Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and give out Oxygen.


Which animals and plants depend on each other?

All of them. The plants turn the carbin dioxide converted by you into oxygen and then you can breath. You then, when you breath out, give out more carbin dioxide for the plants to breath, and give you more oxygen, Etc...


When is respiration?

Respiration occurs in all living cells - days and nights (any time). Animals respire (breathe) taking in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide all the time. Plants - green plants - tend to take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen during daylight hours, but reverse the process overnight.


What would happen if you removed all of the oxygen from an area where plants were grown?

the trees give us oxygen so......we would die.


Does any other plants give off oxygen besides trees?

Nearly all plants, as well as algae, create oxygen. In fact, all plants and algae that make their own food from sunlight, air, and water do produce oxygen. Two my knowledge, there are only a couple of types of parasitic plants that get food from other plants, and thus do not make their own food or oxygen.


Do palm trees give us oxygen?

Well, all plants filter the air so there are no toxins in the air. As they do this, they produce oxygen. So, since palm trees are plants, they would naturally filter out the air and create oxygen.


Do plants provide animals with oxygen?

Both plants and animals use oxygen in their body chemistry. Animals exhale carbon dioxide. Plants give off mostly oxygen during the daylight hours when photosynthesis occurs, but excrete carbon dioxide at night.


What can oxygen kill?

It can kill plants if the plants just get oxygen. This can lead to the killing of human sf all plants were exposed to was oxygen.


Do evergreen tree give off oxygen?

Evergreen trees do give off oxygen. They give off less oxygen than deciduous trees do in the summer, but they do release oxygen all year.


Who are the users of oxygen?

All animals and plants. Plants use oxygen as well as carbon dioxide.


Which plants produce food and oxygen?

All green plants produce food ande oxygen


When do plants use carbon dioxide night or day?

Plants use carbon dioxide in the daytime as part of photosynthesis which occurs in the chloroplast. They use the CO2 and make sugars. People breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite. They breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.One small "technical" detail that should be mentioned. Plants really don't breath, they respire. People breath.So, at the night, the plant cells respire more than they photosynthesise, so they get rid of more carbon dioxide than oxygen.
